——————————————-
Walked through our two forechecks, 2-1-2 pinch on wide rim and Aggressive 1-3-1 Pinch on both sides. It went ten minutes longer than planned so skipped Speed Scoring and finished with full ice 3-3 no dump ins. We had to stop the game to stress that everyone has to cover one player.

Our passing in the small horseshoe and the 2" game was the best so far this season.

We adjusted the D pairs and the F lines and a few players met with us about where they are now.

We are very small on D and made sure the four centres have good size. Our top three scorers are on one line and the other three lines are balanced so they can compete and have the ability to score. Our D pairs are able to play both the forechecks without switching anyone. Teams match lines during the Provincial tournament and we prepared for that.

We have three more practices to prepare. Tournament starts with one game Thursday, two Friday, one Saturday. Top two play for gold and 3-4 Bronze on Sunday.
